BBC: Jewish and Muslim organisations are staging a joint protest in the German capital Berlin over a regional court's ruling that the circumcision of young boys constituted bodily harm.
The protest was prompted by the news that a rabbi in Bavaria was being investigated over the practice.
The ruling on circumcision was handed down by a court in Cologne in June.
However, the German government has since announced it will legislate to explicitly legalise the practice.
The court in Cologne had declared that the ritual circumcision of a Muslim boy, in accordance with his parents' faith, caused the child "bodily harm".
The German Medical Association then told doctors across the country to stop performing the procedure for both Jews and Muslims. » | Sunday, September 09, 2012
